Congratulations to our 5th grade DARE graduates!
Here's a fun experiment you can do with your children that only takes a few minutes!
Get some boiling water, head outside, and throw the water into the air! (To the side, don't stand under it!) Parents or older students, please help your littles with this as the water is still hot!
Send some pics and comment with your results of what happens to the water!
Have a great e-learning day, and stay warm!
